Worm World, Worm World

Why do we need worms?  Here is a fun and dirty spring activity for the kids. Build a WORM WORLD.  All you need is Earthworms (ones you found, or night crawlers you bought at the store).  Place the worms in a wheel barrow with fresh dirt and shovels.  Also helpful, paper plates, magnify glasses and bug jars available for exploration.
